General: - Difficult to get V50 parts

mogle · Sep 17th, 2021, 19:44

I got a V50, T5, AWD from 2005, done just over 100K. In general the car have been good. Now struggling getting hold of parts:

- Engine Mounts

The last service, I was told I should like into replace the engine mounts, the garage told me they were unable to get these parts from Volvo UK.

- Drive shaft

If you push the truttle down, you can hear the drive shaft. (It could also be en engine mounts, difficult the tell the difference.) My garage told me they tried to get a new drive shaft for the T5, AWD, they told me Volvo cannot supply the parts in the UK due to Brexit.

- Rubber seal for driver door and trailer door.

Over the years the dog clows has destroyed the rubber seal on the trailer door. I asked the Volvo garage a few years back, they could not provide me with a replacement.

Now the rubber door seal for the drivers door has gone. When driving I can hear some noise from the door when driving at high speed. Same thing again, Volvo UK cannot supply replacement.

Am I the only one having problems getting spare parts for my Volvo V50?

Had similar experience with 2004 V70 AWD R drivers driveshaft. Got around issue by ordering part number not by VIN. Also told tale the DPF for certain V50's are no longer made. Parts are not made/kept for vehicles +10yrs it seams.

Cheers
